Australia v Sri Lanka 2011: http://www.senore.com/Cricket/RT-Ponting-c2377’s presence as huge advantage for team – Cricket News Update
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ricardo-Gouveia-c84824 Ponting, as a huge advantage for the side, saying that the former skipper has brought a lot of class and experience
into the side.
The Aussies are currently on http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758’s tour, bouncing back in the ODI series after showing a dismal performance in the Twenty20 contests. In the first ODI, played at the Pallekele Cricket Stadium, on
August 10, 2011, Ponting played a key role in his team’s seven-wicket victory by smashing a steady half-century.
Under Ponting’s command, the Kangaroos failed to produce anything special in the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625 World Cup 2011. As a result, the 36-year-old had to quit the hot seat, handing over the responsibility to lead the crew,
to the young http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MJ-Clarke-c1978.
Yet, he decided to stay in the ground as a player, stating that he still has a lot of energy to serve the country. Admiring Ponting’s recent decision to continue his cricket, Hussey insisted that having
a seasoned campaigner like him in the side is a huge bonus for the new-look Australian team.
"It's been fine, no worries at all. I think it's been a bonus that Ricky's still around. He's obviously batting brilliantly at the moment which is very important but having his experience, you see a lot
of the younger players going up and talking to him about certain situations or how they play certain bowlers, to have that wealth of experience is just invaluable,” said Hussey.
Rating the current Aussie side as capable of beating even the best in the business, the Western Australian batsman further claimed that the team has decent chances to crush islanders in the ongoing clash.
Talking about the captaincy of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Clarke-c51120 who is leading the side in his first major challenge, Hussey shared, "Michael Clarke's taken over as skipper and he's really enthusiastic for the team to be working
hard and executing the plans that he wants for the team. Everyone's pretty energetic and enthusiastic at the moment."
